This place is a great little hidden gem. Really well kept. It’s got a small gift shop at the entrance. The attendants inside were courteous and attentive. You take a stroll through the little village with several buildings, train caboose, humongous cedar bucket and a antique tractor display. We loved this place. Spent about 1-2 hours here.

There's a monument and a bench. That's it! However, it's a cute little spot that makes for a great photo just to say you've been there.
